good afternoon president fong, commissioners. over the last seven years of the members of the western soma citizen planning task force have devoted thousands of hours of their own time to creating a new community plan, one that will preserve and enhance what is already here while making sensitive land use decisions to accommodate growth in a way that doesn't ruin what we already have. this has been an exercise in bottom up participatory democracy involving hundreds of members of the western soma community. i am grateful for the support of the planning directors going back to gerald green and including acting director larry bab ner, dean mackris and john ram. this has been a partnership and that's the key, an important partnership, with the planning department, the transportation authority, and the department of public health. i am also grateful to the board of supervisors who provided more than adequate funding so that we could engage asian neighborhood design as a partner with the planning department staff to provide research an
